Italian punk rock veterans Los Fastidios are back with a new release celebrating thirty years in existence! For those that do not know this band yet, Los Fastidios play a mixture of street punk, more on a melodic side of things and ska punk, lyrics being in Italian and English. For my taste, better songs on this album are those done in a more street punk way, being quite little anthems like Torneremo Ancora or These Boots. Singer Enrico has a recognizable voice and his English improved a little over the years hehe. Guitar work is nice, nothing new or revolutionary but somehow celebrating life, positivity and vital energy that somehow gets lost in the rush of this modern world. But, also some songs bring a feeling of melancholy in me, like for example The Queen of the Dancefloor. Elisa brought new energy to the band with her voice like for example in Beverley. This band has always been known for promoting positivity, anti fascist and anti racist ideas, besides usual street punk topics, so go and have a listen to these veterans. You will not regret it.
If you read this zine and you love your street punk, you will of course remember Bull Brigade from Italy. We interviewed them earlier this year regarding this new album and their anniversary as a band.
Now, the wait is over and the new album is upon us. There are 9 songs on this one and I can safely say that Bull Brigade released an album full of street punk oi anthems to please the heart of the most hardened of us street bastards out there. What I also love about this band is that they wrote songs with lots of melody and emotion like for example Booze & Glory in their newer releases. These songs are just made for singing along from the top of your lungs. Vocals are just the way they should be, neither too melodic nor too harsh. Lyrics are in Italian and I just love how this language fits into punk rock, just somehow making it more emotional and more beautiful. When they released single Quaranta featuring guest vocals by none other than Roddy Moreno from The Oppressed, I knew this one might be something great and I was not mistaken. The title song, Ansia, Anche se and other are sure to become your favorites. Go get this one.
